Control Things Platform
- Justin Searle
- Tuesday, September 12th, 8:15pm - 9:15pm
SamuraiSTFU was a great start to help Electric Utilities do penetration testing of their DCS and SCADA networks, however it just wasn't enough. SamuraiSTFU has expanded its goals to include all control systems and IoT devices, thus requiring a name change and a complete rebuild of the pentest distribution. Come check out the new Control Things Platform, a pentesting platform to help you learn, calibrate, and perform security testing of control networks in any ICS organization.
